A couple of Christmas Photos

We had a good Christmas at Mom and Dads, the weather was certainly better this year. Spent quite a bit of time outside and had lots of good food.

Outside for Thanksgiving.

We had a super nice day for Thanksgiving and spent most of the afternoon outside (except for Nick, who spent it napping!) Jason and Amanda got the horses out and got Ruby and Reece in a race. It was pretty close - no official winner at this point. Kristin took Gem out for a ride in the corn field as well. Hopefully it will be warm enough for some pheasant hunting and more outside stuff all weekend.

Easter weekend.

We got two nice days in a row for Easter weekend! Jason and Amanda spent part of it getting the winter coats off their horses.

Molly is the only one happy about all the water around. It isn't as bad as last year though, and we got rid of quite a bit of it over the weekend.

Christmas Eve

We had a good Christmas weekend at Mom and Dad's. Nick made it back from Omaha and Jason and Amanda were around all weekend. Above is Nick with a video camera that he got. Below is a grandma sweatshirt that Mom got.

Molly really wanted a closer look at the fur lined hat that Nick got Dad. She kept a close eye on it. Jason and Amanda having a good time unwrapping gifts below.

Thanksgiving day

We had a good Thanksgiving Day here. Above is Nick and his girlfriend Kristin. Below is Jason and Amanda.

There was plenty of food and games of course. Amanda trys to bowl on the Wii while being distracted by Jason and Molly. Below, Mom works on Turkey soup with the leftovers.

A couple new photos.

Christmas eve at Mom and Dad's.

This is all from Christmas eve and day and Mom and Dad's.  We did make it out to the 7pm church service fine last night  but we are pretty much snowed in today.  I'll try and take a few photos of the snow later.

The Wii is keeping everyone busy today.  Above, dad tries out the Wii fit.  Below,Dad and Nick are pheasant and duck hunting.

July vacation.

I didn't take a whole lot of photos this year, we were just busy running around it seems.
Above, Megan with here cake for her 10th birthday (June 9th.) We also had a cake for Nick.

Jason finishing off the last of the sweet and sour pork. Took it just because I could.

Megan and Dad above. They had some pretty good weather this year.
Below, this is the only photo that the dog, BJ, was looking at the camera. I didn't get one where everyone was looking or not blinking, so I choosing this one just for BJ.

Jason and Nick at Thanksgiving.

Jason and Nick spent some time together at Thanksgiving. Jason was busy most of the weekend working on the late harvest with Jeff and Jesse. Nick and Dad and I got some late pheasant hunting in. They spent one afternoon putting a cover on the old well. Nick takes off for the MidEast again this month.

Photos from Megan, part 4.

Well, I'm getting a bit jealous of the good photos Megan is taking. Here's a few more she took on her vacation to South Dakota.

A very nice picture of her Grandpa and Grandma.

Grandpa Chet.

Her brothers Jason, Alex and Nick.

NIck makes it back.

Nick made it back to South Dakota after a bit of a delay. He had a couple of weeks off, so he'll get to spend some good time with everyone.

Alex got a set of Samuri swords.

Megan got a kimono.

And both got picked on endlessly by their older brothers. Jason and Nick get Megan above.

Alex is about to end up on the losing end of a squirt gun fight against Jason.
